This dive site, Basen Holtur, is an artificial swimming pool primarily designed for confined water scuba diving training. Located near Kołobrzeg in Poland, it serves as the foundational location where individuals complete the initial series of exercises for all scuba diving courses. The pool is 25 meters long and approximately 3 to 3.6 meters deep, providing a controlled and safe environment to master basic underwater skills before transitioning to open water. There is no historical context beyond its use as a modern training facility.
As an artificial swimming pool, Basen Holtur does not host any natural marine animals or plants. The environment is sterile, focusing purely on human interaction with diving equipment and techniques rather than ecological observation.
The best time to visit Basen Holtur is year-round, as its indoor nature makes it unaffected by weather conditions, ideal for continuous training. It is specifically recommended for absolute beginners in scuba diving and freediving who need a controlled, clear, and shallow environment to learn and practice. No special tips for advanced divers as it's not an exploratory dive site.
